latex.py Character translation utilities for LaTeX-formatted text. Usage: - unicode(string,'latex') - ustring.decode('latex') are both available just by letting "import latex" find this file. - unicode(string,'latex+latin1') - ustring.decode('latex+latin1') where latin1 can be replaced by any other known encoding, also become available by calling latex.register(). We also make public a dictionary latex_equivalents, mapping ord(unicode char) to LaTeX code. D.
